This book was everything and more. I didn’t want it to end! I love Chloe and Warren, the way they communicate and the issues they talked about, their love. The writing was amazing and I loved the story. I’m definitely going to be rereading this!

This was very cute! I don’t know enough about the foster care system to know how accurate this storyline is, with the pairing system for foster families. But, I enjoyed the story and I enjoyed the characters. I liked Luke the most, he was definitely my favorite character. I liked that there was no late-story breakup, I hate when authors add that in just for the drama.

Overall this is a quick, feel-good story. My only critiques are preference-related, not literary. I enjoyed this more than “Out in a Limb” because I felt like the MMC in this one had actual flaws which made him feel more real. So overall I would recommend this, especially if you’re looking for a fast, warm-fuzzy type of book with a little bit of steam.

A quick, palette cleansing read! Loved the premise, the whole falling in love aspect felt a rushed af like y’all literally were just hating each other then were hopping into love but it’s okay like i said if you need a cute quick little mindless read/palette cleanser this is a safe option

3.5 stars rounded up. My first Hannah Bonam-Young book didn’t disappoint! Her writing is really descriptive and visual, and has related lovely and a nice representation of characters. HBY does a nice job of dealing with sensitive topics within a romance book.
Warren and Chloe were fire and ice and it was a fantastic build up. I am a sucker for a “oh my god, they were roommates,” trope. It didn’t quite get a full four stars from me because of how fast they went from not dating to being end game. I have to say, I did enjoy the epilogue WAY more than most epilogues with time jumps. I’m excited to read Next to You next to see more of Matt and Lane. This series is PERFECT for fans of the Bergman brothers/sisters series by Chloe Liese.
